Have you ever met that mirror that beats all others? The one that makes you look 5lbs thinner and feel like J. Lo? This was that mirror for me and I could really use the self esteem boost now as I wallow in my NYE illness. But hey, at least there’s only up from here #2018hitmewithyourbestshot //

Raise your hand if you’ve ever felt personally victimized by a pair of shoes. Currently trying to break in these ankle boots because they ruined my ankles in about 10.5 minutes last time I wore them. Item: B.P Kasen Booties by @nordstrom //

How I was sleeping on this baby I will never know. As a background, primers and my skin don’t get along. But I feel some type of way putting foundation on bare skin without a “barrier”. Then I found this Vitamin Enriched Face Base from Bobbi Brown. It feels more like skincare that leaves a smooth base for makeup and my skin is LOVING it. //

Excited to try out this bronzer from Lilah B. One could say I don’t need another bronzer, I say there is no such thing. Seeing as I can’t go on a tropical vacation every year, how else would I get the bronze goddess-ish look I strive for? Exactly. #ibreakforbronzers#saynotobronzerhelmit //

The only double C collection I’ll likely ever own—thank you very much yearly Chanel price hikes. Side note: do I need Black Satin? I’m pretty loyal to OPI Black Onyx but I feel like I could use another good black nail polish in my life. //

May or may not come here just for their Titanic latte and house made cake. Bet Jack wishes the iceberg were a giant marshmallow instead. Too soon? Also, ten points to Gryffindor for the warm rustic decor. #tgif#coffeeshopvibes#therewasroomfortwo //

Really savoring the cold weather and actually getting to wear coats, knits, and thermals. I was born in the summer but my heart is in Fall/Winter always. Though I do say this as a California native who hardly experiences anything below 40 degrees so there’s that. #nobombcyclonestysm //

Halls are decked. Usually I’m the type that can’t wait to put the decorations away after the holidays, but new decor bits this year have made everything so cozy that I’ve been really enjoying curling up at night with all the twinkle and fairy lights on. Calms my soul. //

I did end up buying Replica ‘By the Fireplace’ while I was in Seattle. One, because I love how it envelopes you in warmth and is basically winter in a bottle. But also because I wanted to remember the trip every time I wore it. That’s the thing about scents—they make memories come alive in such a unique way. So this one will be that more special to me. //
